Every apple seed produces a unique variety and the best way to reproduce an existing variety is to vegitively propagate it by grafting or budding.

This practical two hour workshop will teach you how to graft fruit trees for your own backyard or orchard.

The basic techniques of grafting
How to successfully collect and store bud wood
Rootstock selection
After care of your grafted trees.
